from horrible death.
He had come to the theatre as by
his appointment, and found it in
flames. He knew IL was useless to
search for Wyndham in the awful
confusion OF that scene, but by chance
he saw the door into the Rue Mari

gone into the theatre by that door

Words at the head of the Lesson.-The pronunciation
OF these words should be carefully taught When assign
ing lesson for the next reading the pupils should
be called upon to pronounce them This should be done
both In concert and separately, and the teacher should
permit no mspronouneed word to pass uncorrected The
pupils should then be directed to copy these words before
the next reading, properly dividing Them aceentng the
syabes and marking the sounds of the letters At the
recitation they should be required write the words in
the same way but without reference to the book
"study your Lesson."-Thc work which pupil is ex-
pected to do in the preparation Of his lesson should be
made very clear him 1t is not enough to say. Study
your lesson This is precisely what he does not know how
to do in any proper sense, and is than any other
thing what he is to be taught do The preceding para
graph is designed to suggest how he may be taught to
study pronunciation The teacher should see that the
things which constitute study all other parts of his read
ing work be set forth explicitly if this work is to he done

this book have not before appeared in School Readers Of

countenance of our Mussulman friend

eclipsing both. 1t was not by any means
our policy to wait until he had adjusted
the balance, and made up his mind

passed to the door. In q moment the in

traversed the large and struggling house,

carriage which waited for us beyond the
wall. Our evening passed rapidly away as
We discussed our adventure and l have
more than once thought, with pleasure,
how amusing an incident the visit of the

Thee | revisit, realms So fair,
And breathe again thy welcome air;
And here again. as in past days,
With deepest reverence / gaze
Upon this beauteous spot, and note
The impress of Hand that wrote
In living letters far and wide
50 A land well worth nations pride"
Thy lovely wales, thy mountains blue,
enhancing in their changeful hue,
Thy fields arrayed in living green,
In winter still a verdant scene,
The wooing of the fragrant breeze
That steals mid groves of orange trees,
The flowers that grace yOn winding stream,
Have been to me fruitful theme.
How often in the eastern skies
Where the Sierras. snow-crowned, rise,
Where erst had been purple shroud,
I've seen at morn golden cloud
Rise mid the mists, so dim and gray,
The herald of the King of Day.
And soon Ger hill and valley wide
The glory of his molten tide
Spreads forth, and Nature smiles to see
His glowing beams SO fair and free.
Nor yet less grand when eve shall close
A day all light and calm repose,
To see the sun blaze of light
Sink slowly, grandly out OF sight
Beyond the distant mountain hight;
While twilight fingers gently still
As 10th to leave each dale and hill
Can classic lands of Greece and Rome,
OF bards and patriots once the home,
And where to-day they turn their gaze
To nerve their arm or make their lays,
oh Can those chimes more favored be
Than these beside the western sea?
Perhaps there yet may be time
When we shall read in glowing rhyme,
The praises of our native land
Penned by as mastery a hand
AS his, whose sun too soon went down
In Missolonghi's gloomy town.

faithfulness in his department. The selec-
ton made by both the Board and the State
Printer, of men to perform the work, has
been happy.
OF Mr.. Raymond, editor-in-chief of the
series, Superintendent Welcker, in his BIZ
ennial report to the Governor, thus writes :
= The Board. as soon as funds were in
hand. proceeded to select managing ed
itor of the entire series. They elected to
that important post w. H. V. Raymond,
who in every way has proven to be the
right man in the right place.
From the same report we find further
that " the designs for illustrating the read
-ers have been made exclusively by Cali
fornian artists, prominent among whom are
Miss Randall. Mrs. Weeks, Carl Dahlgren
and Thomas Hill. The admirable engrav-
ings executed from these pictures have been
made by Matthew McKeon, now of San
Francisco, and who has done much fine
work for the leading periodicals of the
country, such as Scribner's, HUper's and
The Century,"
The employment of Mr.. McKeon has not
only given excellent artistic results for the
series, but has made the cost, as we learn
